This is a review of a Sanyo massage chair. The DR-6700K model is one of the best massage chairs produced by Sanyo. We will conduct an evaluation of 5 separate categories and provide a score of 20 possible points each. A total grade is given by adding the scores. This provides a basis of comparison for the other massage loungers that we have reviewed. Let’s see how the HEC-DR6700K massage recliner stacks up against the competition.
Warranty and Customer Service – You want to make sure you get sufficient warranty protection with your massage chair. These are complex machines and you want to be protected in the future. So what kind of warranty do you get with the DR6700K? This recliner comes with 3 years on the roller mechanism. You also get 1 year of parts and also 1 year of labor. On-site technician repair service is also provided free of charge for the first year. This is a pretty good guarantee of this level of massage chair. Sanyo has now established a national call center for warranty issues and offers good service. We rate the warranty and customer service an 18.
Comfort and ergonomics – You need to make sure that a massage chair is well suited to your body type and that all the main features are easily accessible. This is the goal of this category. The DR-6700 is a comfortable recliner to sit on. The back pad is soft and well padded. The head pillow is adjustable and supports the head well. The remote control is within easy reach and has larger buttons for important automatic massage programs. We give the DR 6700 an 18 for comfort and ergonomics.
Ease of Use – This category looks at how easy the chair is to use for the average person. We have seen some overly complicated remotes that require too many steps for the chair to do what you want it to do. The remote control has 4 automatic programs that work with a single touch. Manual programs are a bit more complicated, requiring a few steps to get the chair where you want it to be. The intensity and width settings have a nice stepped LED to show power levels. Overall, we rate the Sanyo DR6700 17 for ease of use.
Key Features: The two outstanding massage features of the DR6700 are the stiffness sensing system and the GK rollers. The stiffness detection system is borrowed from Sanyo’s lie detection technology. This system actually measures your pulse rate and the extent of your perspiration. This is done by reading your finger when you hold the secondary remote control. The DR6700 can locate areas of tension and stress in your body. These readings are then sent to the computer and those areas are selected for relief. The other important feature is the GK rollers in the roller mechanism. These nimble rollers can massage the upper part of the shoulders for a relaxing and calming massage. We give the DR-6700 an 18 for key features.
Massage therapy: The DR 6700 has 4 automatic one-touch massage programs. The programs are as follows: Stiffness, Recovery, Fine and Relaxation. There are also manual massage techniques that include the following: grasping, shiatsu, kneading, tapping, and combo. Each of these techniques is specialized with a particular movement to loosen or revitalize tense and sore muscles. In manual mode, simply select the intensity of the massage to be more or less invigorating or select the width of the rollers to cover the areas of your back that need attention. Target specific areas by selecting the region including: neck and shoulders, lower back, lower body, and quick tour. You have many good options to choose from with the DR-6700. Our massage therapy rating is 19
